The 4th AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, presented by AARP the Magazine, honored films released in 2004 made by people over the age of 50. This was the last year that the awards were announced by the magazine without an in-person awards ceremony.[1] Lynn Redgrave won the award for Breakaway Performance for Kinsey.[2] This year's ceremony also featured a number of noncompetitive, less-serious awards, such as the "Who's Your Daddy? Romantic Gap Prize" for the movie with the most implausible age gap in a romantic pair. This was the last year for which there was no in-person awards ceremony; instead, winners were sent a trophy in the shape of a golden theater seat, called La Chaise d'Or.[3]

Winners are listed first, highlighted in boldface, and indicated with a double dagger (‡).[4][5][6]
Breakaway Accomplishment[edit]
- Lynn Redgrave: "Redgrave appears for just over two minutes and 50 seconds, yet after nearly 40 years of roles that barely touched on her skills, her soliloquy as a woman telling her story to the controversial sex researcher is so breathtaking and heartfelt she delivers what amounts to a benediction."[7]
